Reading poems from Teyvat

After all, with that person's casual personality, is it really possible that he would become the next Geo King in response to me?

Although in reality he is unlikely to become the next Rock King.

After all, that person ended the Demon God War in Liyue and ruled Liyue for thousands of years, allowing the people of Liyue to live in peace and stability on this land. Given that person's personality, he would just wander around like a wandering crane.

But it seems that the current emperor only appears once a year.

So based on the speed at which his personal strength is improving, he can actually become the next Rock King who can end the Demon War single-handedly. As long as he doesn't hit his ceiling, maybe he can expect it?

So, why not let him... give it a try first?

"No, that's not right. How could I possibly respond to a man who wants three wives and four concubines!"

Although she knew very well that many men actually had such thoughts.

Women actually really enjoy being surrounded by a bunch of handsome men...

“But now he’s even taking action!”

That Shen He is proof of this!

But the relationship between the two of them didn’t seem to be that kind of thing. Although Keqing could probably see that even if the relationship between the two was not that kind of relationship, it would probably develop into one where neither of them could live without the other. At least after Shen Zhigui finished his journey and returned to Liyue, according to the utopia he described, his place of residence would probably not be Liyue Harbor, but Jueyunjian—

But he still lives in his own home...

"It's so annoying."

The two opposing thoughts in Keqing's mind conflicted with each other, making her unable to even eat. Her depressed mood was inevitably revealed, and she slammed her chopsticks down heavily. The people around her were all startled. The waiter also knew the famous Yuheng Star and thought that a fly had been found in his food, so he immediately ran to the kitchen to find Xiangling.

After all, as mentioned before, Xiangling can become friends with almost anyone.

Therefore, letting Xiangling come out to comfort Keqing is the best choice.

Xiangling saw Keqing's expression and immediately asked, "Wasn't Zhigui sitting at this table before? Where is he?"

"Don't mention him to me!"

Keqing obviously didn't want to hear someone's name at this time, so she immediately retorted. However, she realized that she was taking her anger out on Xiangling, so she couldn't help but apologize to her.

"It's okay," Xiangling secretly observed her expression and said, "You two, are you having a conflict?"

"We were just strangers to begin with, and now we are just back to square one."

Keqing just said.

“But I don’t think Zhigui thinks so.”

"Humph! He doesn't think so, but I haven't seen him really think about following me..."

Keqing didn't finish her words, so Xiangling thought she was just complaining that Shen Zhigui didn't treat her as a true friend, so she just comforted her softly, "Maybe your status is too high, Keqing? You don't lack anything, and he's just a traveler in a foreign land. Although I think he's more like a local than the locals most of the time, I guess he doesn't know how to keep a distance between you two, right?"

Keqing turned her head and glanced at Xiangling.

"Then why aren't you as...anxious as he is?"

Although Keqing never felt that Shen Zhigui was really worried about gains and losses.

Xiangling thought that it was just a matter of personalities, but after thinking for a while, she said, "Because Zhigui cares about his friendship with you more than I do. I heard that you are the first friend he met in Liyue. I guess you mean too much to him, right?"

Chapter 32: Who will listen when the string breaks? (Part 2)

Shen Zhigui, do you really care about me that much?

When Keqing heard Xiangling's words, she couldn't help but ask herself.

But thinking of the young man's absent-minded expression, his ridicule of her ideas, and his attempts to save their relationship when it was about to break down, Keqing couldn't tell what he was thinking. Did he just regard her as a friend and savior, or was it really like what Shen He and Xiangling said, that although he wanted to get close to her, he had to suppress his feelings and dared not show anything unusual because of his high status?

“Keqing…”

Xiangling saw her sitting there in silence for a long time, so she waved her hand to bring her back to her senses.

"Can I warm it up for you?"

She pointed to the cold dishes on the table and said.

Although Xiangling knew that with Keqing's wealth, there would be no loss even if she made another one, but wasting food was always bad, so she just said that.

Keqing nodded.

But just as Xiangling turned to leave, Keqing suddenly stopped her and asked, "What kind of person do you think Shen Zhigui is?"

"Why do you ask that?"

Keqing couldn't explain it either.

But Xiangling was obviously just asking casually. Seeing that Keqing didn't respond, she just drooped her thick eyebrows, thought for a moment, and then said: "Although he is indeed a bit inexplicable most of the time, I think he should still be an interesting person, right?"

"interesting?"

Keqing never thought she would hear such a statement from Xiangling.

"Well, this is just my personal opinion. Anyway, he doesn't seem to have any fixed rules for doing things. He just does it because he thinks it's fun, just like when he wanted to fight with me for no reason," Xiangling said casually, "but he's not so excessive as to make excessive jokes just for fun."

Keqing was silent for a moment:

"Thank you."

"No, I'm glad I can help you."

Xiangling observed this powerful but weak girl, not understanding why she looked like this, but she couldn't help but feel that it would be better not to disturb her at this time, so she really went to help her reheat the cold dishes. Keqing thought about it and finally sighed slightly:

No matter what, I will never speak first.

But isn't it better to give him a little hope, just like he did to himself before?

Hasn't he always been using this method to take advantage of me anyway?

Wait until he really does something earth-shattering and makes you think that he will agree to his idea of ​​having three wives and four concubines. Then just reject him harshly!

Keqing thought about this in her mind, but she couldn't help but waver.

……

Shen Zhigui had no idea what Shen He had said to Keqing, or what Keqing was thinking. Indeed, he felt, as Xiangling had said, that Keqing would never have such thoughts. After all, this young lady from a noble family was already of such status and position, so how could she have such an unequal relationship with a foreigner like Shen Zhigui for some inexplicable reason? It could even be said that even if Shen Zhigui wanted to marry her openly, he would actually have been married into her family.

Of course, although Shen Zhigui did have some romantic thoughts about Keqing, all these thoughts disappeared when he thought of her work intensity.

What if she drags him along and asks him to be 007 all day long?

Did he run to another world just to devote himself to the people of that other world until his death?

So now he could understand why Zhongli ran away.

Although Zhongli before did not seem to be doing high-intensity 007 work all day long.

However, thinking of the condition proposed by Zhongli, Shen Zhigui was a little tempted: anyway, he couldn't find a suitable target for killing in a short time. Although Zhongli's test was fishing, for those Fatui who really wanted to overthrow a country and destroy a port, dying under his sword seemed to be possible, right? Besides, with Rosaline's internal and external cooperation, the Fatui were obviously not a concern. After all, Tartaglia's brain was obviously no match for others. If he couldn't suppress Osel at that time, he could just let Ningguang smash down the Jade Pavilion as in the original plot!

You can also check your quality at that time.

He had thought about this before. If the first level of "Mysterious Energy of Life and Death" of "The Heavens and the Underworld" wants to progress to "Bright Eyes through the Netherworld", it is necessary to experience a large number of life and death transformations. Then, if he directly kills a demon god of Osser's level, will his life and death transformation process allow him to ascend to the sky in one step and cultivate "Bright Eyes through the Netherworld", or even directly enter the realm of "Gu Xuan"?

Although no matter how you look at it, he seems a little overwhelmed now.

After all, he is only able to be on par with Xiao for a short period of time.

If he stays in combat for too long, he will be suppressed and eventually defeated.

And Xiao is obviously no match for Osel.

Of course, it is more than enough to protect yourself.

It's just that at that time he couldn't escape thousands of miles away for the safety of the people of Liyue Harbor.

Although in hindsight, even if the Liyue Seven Stars and the gathered immortals could not deal with Osel, Zhongli would still be there to back them up. In fact, all Zhongli wanted to see was that they could handle this situation independently. However, Shen Zhigui obviously could not withdraw when he knew that Zhongli was Morax. He also did not understand where Zhongli's bottom line was. Was it that Liyue could not have any casualties, or would he take action only when the number of casualties reached a certain level?

Although God loves the world, from his lofty perspective, more people are just numbers to him.

Of course, Shen Zhigui couldn't blame him.

Because only when the Seven Stars of Liyue and the remaining immortals have proved that they can survive without him, can he truly choose to let go. Although he will continue to watch in secret after that, the fact that the Seven Stars of Liyue and the immortals can survive when they have no confidence can truly prove that they can continue to move forward without the protection of Morax, as Keqing said.

“So, it would be best if I could kill Osel. Otherwise, participating in this kind of thing would just be a process according to the original plot,” Shen Zhigui pondered for a moment, thinking, “Although I probably won’t need the approval of more God’s Eye holders at that time, if I can kill him, my progress in martial arts will be considerable. Maybe I won’t have to worry about whether to use the death of others to satisfy my own selfish desires, which is a trivial moral issue.”

Chapter 33: Who will listen when the string breaks (Part 2)

But in the final analysis, if Shen Zhigui really wanted to plan to kill Osel completely instead of sealing him up again, his situation would probably become the same as when he first came to Teyvat: his martial arts had not reached that level, so he would not be able to completely kill Osel and achieve success in one step; and if his martial arts really reached the level of completely killing the immortal demon, he would not need to use Osel's death as his stepping stone.

In fact, Shen Zhigui was not quite clear about his own importance.

If you were to ask him to face off against Xiangling or Xingqiu, the younger generation of God's Eye holders, he would probably be able to win. Although they had never fought seriously, he would probably be able to defeat an opponent of Shen He's level even if he revealed all his cards. But against real immortals like Grandma Ping or Master Liuyunjiefeng, Shen Zhigui was not sure whether he could use "death energy" to create a chance of victory.

But in the final analysis, he couldn't use such a method in a competition where he couldn't figure out each other's strengths.

However, he himself did not have much confidence when it came to facing Osel.

After all, in a sense, "death energy" only destroys the life structure of the "physical form". As for the demon god who is immortal in spirit, he is not sure whether the effect of "death energy" can be compared with "cinnabar disappears without a trace when it meets fire" -

"Then, can we use 'dead energy' to replace true energy and perform 'Cinnabar disappears without a trace when it sees fire'?"

Shen Zhigui suddenly had a bold idea.

Anyway, he had been bored to death after he stopped torturing himself with "The Heavens and the Underworld", so he decided to take action. He found an open space and started practicing. Then, he found that when he used the "Dead Air" to perform that move, the aura of destruction and decay in the "Dead Air" completely overwhelmed his body and spirit, making it almost impossible for him to control the three when they were about to condense. If the quality of "Liquan" was not worthy of the name of a divine weapon, the violent aura would have almost rolled back and turned his entire arm into a miserable white skeleton!

But even so, when the uncontrollable half-finished moves broke out, the grass and trees within ten feet around the place where he was practicing instantly turned yellow and withered, and the breath of death lingered for a long time. If Shen Zhigui had not neutralized it with "anger" afterwards, I am afraid that a normal person would become seriously ill after staying in such a place for half an hour.

"This idea is not impossible, but..."

In order to use this move successfully, his spirit and body must keep up with the strength of the "death energy", or at least not be completely suppressed by the "death energy".

According to the current progress, although "Nanshan Xiaoxue Yulinxun" has opened the krypton gold plug-in, the progress of "Shangqiongbiluoxiahuangquan" is only steady and orderly, and the spiritual progress -

Now he still has to rely on "searching the sky and the underworld" to break through the barrier of "refining qi into spirit".

Even now he hasn't broken it.

It was only because when he practiced "The Heavens and the Underworld", his spirit was inevitably involved in it because he had to control the flow of true energy, life energy and death energy, like being crushed by a huge millstone and then reassembled, so it became tougher and could grow steadily. Once he stopped practicing that internal energy and continued to practice "Come Like Thunder and End With Wrath", he was just accumulating true energy step by step. The barrier between spirit and true energy was obviously still standing there like a natural moat, with no possibility of loosening at all.

"So, you still want to kill someone?"

Shen Zhigui couldn't help but say something.

"Zhigui, you are so murderous, are you planning to wipe out some treasure-stealing group?"

A voice suddenly came from behind him and said.

Shen Zhigui turned around and saw Xingqiu still reading a book in the hot sun. He couldn't help but think that it was unjust that Xingqiu was not nearsighted. However, considering the spiritual energy of the holders of the Eye of God, Shen Zhigui immediately stopped complaining and just said:

"Why are you here?"

"I just took a break from my busy life and went out to the outskirts of the city to breathe some fresh air. But Zhigui, why has this place become like this?"

Of course, the two of them are outside the city now.

Shen Zhigui was not so crazy as to try out this kind of martial arts in Keqing's yard.

Although he thought about whether it would be better to run to his own cave, he thought it would be better to run out of the city directly instead of harming his own cave, so he ran directly to the grass on the outskirts of the city. When Xingqiu rushed over, he saw that the grass and trees around the young man were withered and yellow. In fact, the closer to the center where the sword-wielding young man was, the darker the color became, almost black, as if it had been burned by fire. Xingqiu couldn't help but look at Shen Zhigui suspiciously, to see if he had hidden the Eye of God somewhere.

"What are you looking at?"

Shen Zhigui asked.

"Zhigui, do you have the Eye of God?"

"Do you think I look like that?"

Xingqiu could vaguely tell that if Shen Zhigui had the Divine Eye, he would definitely show it openly, so if he didn't show it, it was obvious that he didn't have it, so he shook his head and said, "But this is..."

He put away the book in his hand and pointed to the dark ground under the boy's feet.

"Just a little martial arts experiment."

"Martial arts?"

Xing Qiu thought, what kind of martial arts can achieve this level?

Even he doesn't have the Eye of God?

Could it be that since he became a disciple of the Guhua School, there have been some earth-shaking innovations in contemporary martial arts theory?

"It's just my personal martial arts experiment."

Shen Zhigui just casually slashed with his hand, and from his sword, a stream of "vitality" that was originally used to neutralize the "death energy" but had not yet been gathered suddenly poured out, thus creating a green grass path again on the dark and dim grass. Xingqiu looked at the abnormal growth rate of the green grass and immediately wondered if his Eye of God was not of the fire element but of the grass element?

But can the Grass-type God's Eye turn around and cause the grass to decline to this extent?
